         5 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 1 , wherein each leg section is connected to two braces of the plurality of braces. 
     
     
         6 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 5 , wherein one of the two braces is connected to either the first header beam or the second header beam and another of the two braces is connected to either the first senior beam or the second senior beam. 
     
     
         7 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of braces is connected via a bracing cap and pin. 
     
     
         8 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 1  comprising a plurality of junior beams, each junior beam residing in a slot of the first header beam and a slot of the second header beam and spanning a width of the sidewalk shed section. 
     
     
         9 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 8 , wherein the platform section is further supported by the plurality of junior beams. 
     
     
         10 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 9 , wherein the platform section comprises:
 a corrugated sheet configured to reside on the plurality of junior beams and the first and second senior beams; and   one or more planks configured to reside on the corrugated sheet.   
     
     
         11 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 10 , wherein the barrier comprises:
 a first parapet rod received by a first parapet bar bracket connected to a first plank of the one or more planks; and   a second parapet rod received by a second parapet bar bracket connected to a second plank of the one or more planks.   
     
     
         12 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 11 , wherein the barrier comprises a parapet coupled to each of the first and second parapet rods. 
     
     
         13 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 12 , wherein the parapet is perforated. 
     
     
         14 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket configuration comprises a bracket and a bracket mirror, wherein the bracket and the bracket mirror are coupled to the plus-shaped portion. 
     
     
         15 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 1 , wherein each of the first header beam and the second header beam comprise a first plurality of holes located at a first end and a second plurality of holes located at a second end. 
     
     
         16 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewalk shed section is configured to be connected horizontally to a second sidewalk shed section. 
     
     
         17 . The sidewalk shed section of  claim 1 , wherein the sidewalk shed section is configured to be connected vertically to a second sidewalk shed section.
